I had been looking into buying a HD TV for quite a while and finally it was down to 2, one a LED and the other a Plasma 50 inch. Now, keep in mind I was looking to get the most TV for my money. It had to have at least 120 HZ, 1080P, more than 2 HDMI inputs, and not be affected by the glare of the evening sun. I stood in front of these 2 TV's agonizing over balancing cost and quality. I got the 50PG30F and could not ask for more. This has been the most satisfying experience with a TV. I got it just before Christmas 2008 and still running great.

I chose the 1080p because it was clearer than the 760p. I've heard people say that you can tell unless you're using BluRay and I disagree. I could definitely tell the difference, especially on text, and I am glad that I chose the 1080p.

I have been selling tv's for over ten years and have never bought a plasma for my personal use due to the dreaded BURN IN problems that can occur when a ticker or a game bar is stationary for a period of time. Burn in issues with most plasma brands with the contrast and brightness turned down is a thing of the past. Plasma has grown and there is no doubt about the picture quality differnces between it and lcd. That being said I ventured out of my comfort zone after chatting with several reps and I wish I hadn't, in less than a month of owning this tv I am having image retention issues and LG service is schedualed to come out and take a look. After calibration this tv looks great on all HD content, but if you watch any sports or like to play games even with the contrast and brightness turned way down you will probably have issues like me. I will update with the service result.
